I enjoy working with adult individuals and couples, supporting them through relational challenges (such as miscommunication, attachment style differences, and parenting), life transitions (including retirement and career changes, divorce, or becoming parents), struggles with anxiety and depression, and identity exploration. I have a special passion for working with women and LGBTQ+ individuals.

My name is Hui-Li (Wendy) Walker and I am a licensed professional counselor. I have a Masters of Art in Counseling from Dallas Baptist University. In the past, I worked in an outpatient clinic as a clinical therapist. I am a therapist of few words, I want to listen to you. I want to listen to your life, your experiences, and who you are as a person.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in nursing and mental health care across a variety of clinical settings. I work with all ages experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, stress, trauma-related concerns, ADHD, and other mental health challenges.

I am a board‐certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a doctorate in psychiatric mental health, and I believe healing begins when you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your own care. I treat children, adolescents, and adults, and I work to create a calm, welcoming space where you can show up as you are and feel genuinely seen—not just your symptoms.

I believe healing and change are achievable for every client. I have spent much of my time as a Licensed Mental Health Therapist working in a community health setting. This has provided me the opportunity to work with a broad range of clients. In each case, no matter how different, I see the desire for change and healing. My education, post graduate certifications, and experience has fueled my knowledge and ability to walk the path of healing with clients facing a variety of mental health challenges including depression, anxiety, and trauma.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious, or worn down by the demands of life or work? Many of my clients seek therapy during times of transition, burnout, self-doubt, or when they’ve lost connection with their sense of balance and purpose. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Employee Assistance Professional, I’m here to provide a supportive space to explore challenges with honesty, resilience, and compassion. I help clients navigate stress, life transitions, and personal struggles while honoring their identities and cultural backgrounds to invite authenticity, balance, and self-discovery.

Each person seeking counseling requires an individualized plan to address their unique needs. As a visually impaired person, challenges come come up for me everyday, and asking for help is second nature in my life. I walk with clients on whatever path they're on, to explore any areas of need they may have.

Those who're experiencing PTSD/Trauma, Grief, Infertility (men too) and Divorce, I feel your sorrow and pain. I also know its hard to cope with life day to day and relax. It isn't easy to process painful events, which I've endured myself and know how hard it can be to seek therapy. I will help you own your pain, so that your true strength can be found.

Let's talk and explore together.

You don't have to just cope — you can actually heal.

I help adults move beyond managing long-standing symptoms to resolve the root causes of anxiety, depression, and relational trauma. Using evidence-based brain-body approaches, we work together to re-wire your brain, support your nervous system and create real, lasting change — not just temporary relief.

With over 30 years of experience across private agency, government, and private practice settings, I offer individual psychotherapy to adults through a fully online private practice.

If you're ready to stop surviving and start living better without the baggage, I'd love to connect.

You're used to handling responsibility. You know life is what you make of it and you normally feel pretty optimistic and accomplished. But lately you find yourself off-balance. You may regret things you've said or done because there was no time to really sort out the best path. BEFORE you cut off important foundation pieces- your marriage, career, activities and people you've loved that feel like they no longer fit, see me and together let's make sure they're not part of your protective alarm system, begging for perspective and healthier personal balance.
